title: Formation of two-dimensional supramolecular polymers by amphiphilic pyrene oligomers.
abstract: Reading the bands: Amphiphilic pyrene trimers self-assemble into two-dimensional, supramolecular polymers in aqueous medium. Folding and aggregation processes are accompanied by simultaneous development of J- and H-bands and significant changes in the fluorescence properties. The formation of sheet-like nano-structures is confirmed by AFM.
